Studio Ghibli movies are like fine wines.. When you see them you'll like them but what touches your feelings the most is after you've finished watching them. They have an "aftertaste" that stays in your heart.
Me too.... because the reason Anna forgave her was because Marnie died when she was still a baby. At first we think Marnie is saying sorry for leaving her at the silo but in reality she's saying "Sorry I wasn't around because I died when you were only two." Marnie lost her daughter Emily who was always angry at her and then she didn't have a real chance to take care of Anna either. Devastating but so beautiful.
The part where Marnie was asking for forgiveness, apparently there was a deeper meaning behind it. I saw a comment say that she was not only apologizing for leaving Anna at the silo, but for also leaving her (when Marnie passed away) in the world
Nobody talks about Anna's eyes, when the film started the first question I asked myself was "From whom did she get such beautiful blue eyes?" and I was able to glimpse the connection beyond the storyline and loved the story about two souls connecting through time. Since the "Grave of the fireflies" that I had not cry so much with a Studio Ghibli film, I love all of them but I have a special place for "When Marnie was there" because it's about those who are gone but who are alive in our hearts and memories.
I have a hint in the first place when the girl said that marnie do have a foreigner-like beautiful eyes, and when I saw marnie which looks like a foreigner, I knew it already that they're relatives.
Out of all the Studio Ghibli movies I've watched, this made me cry the most. The ending was bittersweet and I love how the MC finally got real happiness by the end. Depression is not an easy topic to discuss, much more PTSD that can lead to forgetting and altering memories in the process of trying to face them all and actually moving forward to become better, to finally free oneself from the sadness one holds in his or her heart. This movie did it in a very beautiful and emotional, but not angsty and irritating way, and may I add, the mystery element is just wonderfully done. The entire time, you'll think of one thing "Just who is Marnie?" And the ending will reveal it and I can assure you that it's not your ordinary psychological theme movie. By the end you'll realize that every scene and line, literally everything that happened, makes sense. The plot twist is just sooo great. This movie is a masterpiece.
@@healyrose4957Marnie is beautiful and sad too. But I agree with you. Kaguya is something else. Never seen anything as beautiful and heart wrenching. I can't get that movie out of my head. I fell in love with Kaguya like for real.
It's year 2022 and I'm still here watching this masterpiece. Even though I've watched this many times, I couldn't help myself but cry. Studio ghibli movies are the best. I've always wanted to see Mharnie in my dreams even though it's unlikely to happen. My forever favorite movie.
Haha I started tearing up when she was about to give her sketch pad to the teacher after a long hard inner struggle and he ...just forgot about it. I have never related to any movie situation so damn hard.
I never cried so much after watching a movie. Thank you Ghibli for this beautiful story, it touched me so much I just don't know what to do with my life anymore ahah.
I kinda relate to the story. 2 yrs ago I discovered the song Fine on the Outside when I had my clinical depression. I didnt know it was a theme song from a Ghibli anime so I was delighted since i loved anime for more than 10 yrs now. The song is just basically my life getting summarized so i called it my "life song". I also had a rough childhood; I got bullied and i hated myself. My aunt basically raised me since mom and dad were frequently away because of mom's disease. I lost her eventually and I only had one friend growing up. It's like Marnie's my spiritual anime character at this point.
@Julienne Sabijon Hey, I hope you are fine now. I suffered from depression many years (not anymore gladly) and I also feel very connected to the soundtrack of this movie. It has been a while since I’ve seen this movie but after listening to the soundtrack a lot, I kind of feel that the songs were written from the perspective of someone with depression. I want to watch the movie again soon and see if depression was actually subtly addressed in the movie. I could be mistaken though... It’s just that the lyrics describe a lot how I felt before.. I really hope you are better now and have healed from your past.. lots of love from someone who has experienced something similar♥️
For me this was not a just a movie,it was feeling ride like when she goes to Marnie village,I was happy like I am there enjoying,when she was leaving I became sad like I was leaving,the movie is beautiful and dynamic that you feel it as real experience
New Nia But if it was actually the other type of love than thats disgusting because well in the ending they mentioned that Marnie is Anna's grand mother.
Julcool that'd be nice, although it may spark a debate, it might open the eyes of some people that not all the "i love you"s female anime/cartoon say doesn't have to be the romantic kind
Traumwandlerin Uuuuh. So? I dress like a boy and Im not gay or even bi. Not every girl likes pink, glitter and mini skirts you know. And two girls being close friends doesnt mean the want to fuck eachother.
Watched it today and it was just so beautifully warm and bittersweet at the same time. The moment when Marnie waves at Anna at the very end just broke my heart. Easily one of my favourite Ghibli pictures🤍
Emotional film overall. Had me crying like there's no tomorrow. Their friendship is pure, and that's what makes this more heartwarming to watch. Marnie and Anna's bond and connection is deep and goes beyond comprehension. Seems like I'd watch this once and never again. I've got no tears left to cry.
It's a shame to see that many people don't understand the platonic "I love you.” 11/29/20 Edit: I was stupid when I made this comment. There are VERY clear romantic undertones (yup...) which made this trailer look like it was for a lesbian romance film. I cannot blame anyone for thinking so.
@@DarkSunGameplay actually it doesn't mean romance lmao. Especially not in this case. Anna and Marnie end up being related so if you really think that they meant it in a romantic way you're gross lmao :/ either way, telling someone you love them doesn't always mean they're in love with them. I tell my friends I love them all the time but I don't want to date them. And people tell their parents they love them too. If you hear someone tell their relative they love them and your mind goes to romance you genuinely need help...
@SagetheWise well being bi if someone mistakes me for a homophobe then I don't really care? Because I know I'm obviously not and if someone accuses me of being one I can explain to them that I literally can't be homophobic lol. Also, if they weren't related I would ship them too; but when people ship these two characters it's really upsetting to me because of the fact they're related. But don't get me wrong lol, I love me some good lgbt representation, but this isn't lgbt representation and it bothers me over how many people don't realize that. I love when people speculate and make up headcanons for characters they believe might be lgbt, but when they're canonically related it makes me uncomfortable :/
@@DarkSunGameplay oh gosh, I'm so sorry ahh. I thought you saw the movie and said the "I love you" was romantic even though you knew they were related. I didn't know you never saw it, I'm so so so sorry for the spoilers !!!! I won't reveal how they're related though, and there is another twist and it's an amazing movie and I really recommend you see it still !!! But I'm assuming the people who are gay and homophobic are in denial about the fact they're gay or it's probably internalized homophobia from past experiences that made them hate themselves like that. If anyone just assumes I'm homophobic without letting me explain themselves, then I won't feel bad at all. That's their own fault for not giving me the time of day to be honest, and again it doesn't bother me because I'm not trying to prove to the world how accepting of the lgbt community I am, being lgbt myself haha. So again if people think that, it genuinely doesn't bother me because I know that I'm not and I'll be happy to explain to people why. When I meet gay people filled with internalized homophobia, I don't feel hateful towards them like I would a straight homophobe. I feel sorry for them because there was probably so many defining factors in their lives that made them end up hating themselves that much.
SKY You have a good point though I love you does not always mean romance and that’s the point you were trying to make. I love my mother. I tell her that. The words used in the term that I love you means romance was implying in your perspective that all I love you means romance. It does not make you homophobic.
i feel yah, i feel yah. Me: When Marnie was There was ull of genuine emotion and heartache, that tackles real life issues. Acadamy: sounds good, but are kids told us inside out was really good so were gonna let that one win. Me: But... Academy: I HAVE SPOKEN!!!
only studio ghibli movies can give you a deep sense of love, fear, friendship, loss, sadness, forgivenss and what not ,it touches your heart in so many ways you discover the most beautiful emotions and ofcourse that makes you shed tears only ghibli movies can make me sob and these feelings becomes a part of you. its a forever thing a forever feeling
Nɪᴋʜɪʟ Bᴀɪᴊᴜ Well there is a movie that doesn’t involve imaginary friends but involves two characters and you don’t know who they truly are inside until the end of the movie. It’s Us by Jordan peele.
Grave of the fireflies is good but these are two different subjects and gof might shock some people too strongly because of the vastly different subject matter
I'm a grown-ass man and I cried like a baby at the end of this movie. It's seriously beautiful and an absolute must-watch if you are a fan of romance stories or Ghibli. It never got sappy and always remained intriguing to me
It is a beautiful movie. The story was good, the artwork was gorgeous.. but what made this movie so unique was its atmosphere and how it portrayed the main characters emotions. This movie had a great impact on me, because I could relate so much to the protagonists feelings. It made me cry but also comforted me. That is why I recomend all of you to give this movie a try. Even though the greatest directors of the studio weren't involved in its making, this movie is in no way inferior to the other masterpieces of this studio. On the contrary.. for me it gained a special place on the top of my all time favorite list. This movie will either be an enjoyable movie or a masterpiece.. It depends on you. But either way, you should watch it! :)
they did that with ocean waves (and kinda with up on poppy hill) too.... kinda makes me uncomfortable because you're expecting a romantic relationship and they pull the relative card is SUPER gross
I always get this feeling after watching a studio ghibli film. While watching it i enjoy the aesthetic and story but I always leave with something weighing on my heart and it makes me think of the film for days
Blurryink this! I always get this! It's a bittersweet feeling, because I get invested in the story and characters and when it all ends it feels like that world closes, yet a part of it stays with me.
i used to have a really strong connection with my grandma and grandpa, since i used to stay with them when i was a child. and i will tell you about my grandma here now. she's a loving woman who took care of me with such a passion and affection. until when i was 10 years old, she passed away and then i have to live with my parents. i don't say my parents are not good enough, but there's something about my grandma that made my childhood. and i always want to say sorry, i love you, everything i wish she could hear. ah, and this movie, it's like she look up to me and say "hi, sorry for leaving you. i love you". this is by far my favorite ghibli movie of all time, i don't think another movie could replace it
Marnie is that person in real world that is not really a bad person but always misunderstood because even the person herself doesn't understand the things that are happening in her own life. Unfortunately we can never have a Marnie in real world so we can only fend and heal ourselves. Have a blessed and happy life everyone!❤
Why does every Studio Ghibli films touches my soul and it makes me feel like I’m longing to live something out from a movie. It lifts your spirit and makes you say, “I’m home.” I don’t know, it’s just touching. 😭
So Marnie was even more in pain than Anna, she came back just to listen from her beloved Anna "I forgive You". This 1 min scene has thousands of emotions packed and I believe the entire movie is will be lifeless without this scene
It goes even harder when you rematch it knowing all the information you know now since you're aware Marnie is the Grandma. It made me cry the entire time since I already knew the 2nd time around, how Marnie talks to Anna makes more sense now.
I just finished watching it, and what a beautiful, loving movie, this dreamy relation ship, escapism of a girl who feels alone and doesn't fit well, with another girl she only meets in special moments in secret. I love everything, and the backstory is so sad...
I just watched this movie today. And the whole store of Marnie really made my over sensitive heart so sad. I was crying. My sister had to ask me if I was gonna be okay. It’s been a while since the last time I cried in a movie. But it’s a beautiful movie. Would watch it again despite that it made me cry.
The fact that little anna looks like my 1,5 year old daughter... And i am watching this movie again, while my little rana is sleeping... now with other feelings than before... Now as a mom... it hurts more 😢 Praying that every little child out there is loved and cared by somebody
I finished watching this movie like a month ago, and it feels so nostalgic. This movie has given me a feeling I wont forget, and that is Love & Friendship.
Ahhh it's been five years. After watching this, it became my most favorite ANIME movie, because it's simply tells a story about the conflicts and cruelty of the world and it's reality, and how relatable Anna and Marnie is. It's actually underrated tbh.
Ví esta película tiempo despues de salir de rehabilitación luego de un brote psicótico y me hizo llorar como la primera vez que la ví. Ojala mas gente se de la oportunidad de ver esta linda obra.
Don't get me wrong, I love all of the Studies Ghibli movies, but this is by far my favorite. If I'm being honest I'd even say it's my favorite movie of all. It's truly wonderful....
This movie was so moving! So touching and deep.When Marnie asked to be forgiven and Anna forgave I teared up a little. The story of Anna's healing conveyed in a really beautiful way
I swear to god this movie touched me on a whole different level.. i watched it on a perfect spring day as i was nursing a broken wrist.. and the music throughout out the movie was so serene.. and the craziest thing i was laying down on the sofa right at the spot my grandma who passed away used to sit. It was just too emotional when the movie climaxed.. some stories are for the soul
Just when hisako told them the story about marnie gave you goosebumps then came her foster mom with the photograph oh my what a shock! Made me tear 😭 I saw that marnie doll anna was holding.
SPOILER ALERT During the movie from the moment I saw Marnies eyes I knew something was up and my guess was that Marnie was her mother so the final reveal was truly a surprise. I always wondered what if Marnie was alive, they would have had the most beautiful grandma-grandchild relationship ever? Not that Anna's aunt or Yuriko not love her but that relationship would have been so fulfilling for both Marnie and Anna, specialy for Marnie since the one thing she ever wanted was to have a loving relationship with her child. Marnie loved her granddaughter so much but got to spend so little time with her. When Anna was seeing 12 year old Marnie it wasn't just in her dreams, it was actually her grandma or more like Anna's granmas love for her and a part of her spirit that was left behind when she passed just manifesting into a physical form that Anna could see, hear and feel, I like to think of in this way because that means Marnie actually got to spend a little time with her grandaughter and her soul can rest In piece now knowing that her love for Emily and Anna were finally recognized atleast by one of them (Anna). Marnie only had a few people that recognized her value, Hisako, Kazuhiko and now Anna. What a beautiful story, this movie will forever be close to my heart, also the scenery of the marsh, the moon at night, the mansion just.... Wow... this is not art this is idk what to call these Ghibli animations, just... Wow same with every ghibli movie, hits different fr! These movies show the imperfectly perfect beauty of humanity, love, nature and life. Thank you Mr.Miyazaki and everyone at Ghibli 🙏🏽
before watching the movie: oh I can't wait to watch this nice lesbians tween movie After watching the movie : welp shit why did I ship them in the first place....
I think the another masterpiece here is it's not important to analyze if marnie was a real ghost or just an imagination of anna... but it is depends on us how we describe marnie's existence on the movie the most important is she accompany anna once again as a real FRIEND (not a relative) and helped bloom her emotions..
Spoiler alert: Turns out at the end of the scene Marnie was actually the girl's grandmother. The reason marnie chose to be her youngerself as a ghost to interacr with her grandaughter was to spend time with her for the second time since death parted them for so long, thats why she mentioned that she has known her for long. She chose her youngerself so that she can tell her story through the girl's head and vision as she interacts. From the part where she dances with the girl she sang her song to see of the girl gets familiarized but nothing budged but nonetheless she kept telling her story through actions in her grand daughter's head. Meanwhile the girl would either be lost or found because while marnie was doing this, in reality the girl was doing the same except Marnie was not there. I was shocked with the plot twist and softened my heart, when Marnie's long lst friend told her story, that is when she had enough telling her grand daughter everything, she would leave it up to her old friend and as the girl's adopted mother mentions gave her the photo, it was revealed at the back of it that Marnie was her grandmother who died long ago. At the very end we see Marnie at the window waving goodbye at her grand daughter. To my hypothisis the sequel will be the girl growing up and as she grows, everytime its her vacaction she would always visit her grandmother by spending time with the people she knew there...and she could never forget the time she spend with her grandmother once more.
yeah definitely but one question why did Anna keep falling asleep and laying in the street is that the only time she could of dreamed/thought of marnie orrrrr...
@@cantthinkofaname9934 thats the side effect of what marnie was doing to her grand daughter, in the real world she would wonder around aimlessly when she encounters her
Stop saying Marnie's a ghost/spirit. She's NOT. Marnie as a child was created in Anna's mind unconsciously, as an "imaginary friend." Her image and actions were based on the stories that Marnie (as a grandmother) told her granddaughter when she was very little, before passing away. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_friend
I can relate to the comment here where it says that this movie was like a wine where it leaves an "aftertaste". I didn't cry throughout the movie but I felt the sadness. However, after listening the the song once again on yt, that was when the feels hit me. After watching the movie and listening to the song, that was when my tears fell down my cheek. I cried and cried. I felt the "aftertaste" and it was beautiful. 😭❤️ Love the movie
Just bought the Blu-ray version & seen it for the 1st time, and I got to say that it's my favourite traditionally hand-drawn, feature-length, animated film at the moment.
I just watched this movie and it was amazing.It got me sobbing at the end because of the plot twist.I oficially lost it when Marnie waved to Anna at the end
When I first watched it, I was like "Why wouldn't anyone ship them?! Come on people? What is so terrible that you can't shi-.....Oh, oh *finds out backstory* Oh OH OH OH! *SOBBING*
I just finished it watching now. Man, the feels though. Like, it was warming to know how marnie helped her from past until the present. Gosh. Pure love ❤
I've been depressed for a long time, I seem useless and bad. This music has helped me relieve fatigue and stress. Thanks for sharing it. The person who is reading this comment , i wish you great success , health, love and happiness!
Studio Ghibli movies are like fine wines.. When you see them you'll like them but what touches your feelings the most is after you've finished watching them. They have an "aftertaste" that stays in your heart.

It's year 2022 and I'm still here watching this masterpiece. Even though I've watched this many times, I couldn't help myself but cry. Studio ghibli movies are the best. I've always wanted to see Mharnie in my dreams even though it's unlikely to happen. My forever favorite movie.
Where do you watch it ?
What did everyone think was the saddest scene in this film? There were so many parts where I completely choked up.
Haha I started tearing up when she was about to give her sketch pad to the teacher after a long hard inner struggle and he ...just forgot about it. I have never related to any movie situation so damn hard.
Alex Leaud When she ran away from the festival saying that she hated herself. That's when I started sobbing.
I sobbed when I saw Marnie in the house in end waving
To avoid spoiling anything I'll just say when Hisako was telling Anna and Sayaka about Marnie, especially towards the end.
when marnie wawed at the end from the house
なんかこの曲聴いてると、暖かい陽の光が顔に当たってじんわりとする感覚を思い出す。目を閉じてもまぶたに光が透けてくる。
I never cried so much after watching a movie. Thank you Ghibli for this beautiful story, it touched me so much I just don't know what to do with my life anymore ahah.

Julcool that'd be nice, although it may spark a debate, it might open the eyes of some people that not all the "i love you"s female anime/cartoon say doesn't have to be the romantic kind
+Traumwandlerin and sooo? Lots of tomboys like guys
Traumwandlerin Uuuuh. So? I dress like a boy and Im not gay or even bi. Not every girl likes pink, glitter and mini skirts you know. And two girls being close friends doesnt mean the want to fuck eachother.
Watched it today and it was just so beautifully warm and bittersweet at the same time. The moment when Marnie waves at Anna at the very end just broke my heart. Easily one of my favourite Ghibli pictures🤍
This movie got me crying my eyes out at 4 in the morning.
3 in the morning for me
Two in the morning for me.
Me rn..I don't know what to do I can't stop crying lol
But where do u guys see this movie. I dont find any site. Please tell me ❤
3 years later at 7am for me. Yes I stayed up till 7...don’t judge me.
Emotional film overall. Had me crying like there's no tomorrow. Their friendship is pure, and that's what makes this more heartwarming to watch. Marnie and Anna's bond and connection is deep and goes beyond comprehension. Seems like I'd watch this once and never again. I've got no tears left to cry.
It's a shame to see that many people don't understand the platonic "I love you.”
11/29/20 Edit: I was stupid when I made this comment. There are VERY clear romantic undertones (yup...) which made this trailer look like it was for a lesbian romance film. I cannot blame anyone for thinking so.
@@DarkSunGameplay actually it doesn't mean romance lmao. Especially not in this case. Anna and Marnie end up being related so if you really think that they meant it in a romantic way you're gross lmao :/ either way, telling someone you love them doesn't always mean they're in love with them. I tell my friends I love them all the time but I don't want to date them. And people tell their parents they love them too. If you hear someone tell their relative they love them and your mind goes to romance you genuinely need help...
@SagetheWise well being bi if someone mistakes me for a homophobe then I don't really care? Because I know I'm obviously not and if someone accuses me of being one I can explain to them that I literally can't be homophobic lol. Also, if they weren't related I would ship them too; but when people ship these two characters it's really upsetting to me because of the fact they're related. But don't get me wrong lol, I love me some good lgbt representation, but this isn't lgbt representation and it bothers me over how many people don't realize that. I love when people speculate and make up headcanons for characters they believe might be lgbt, but when they're canonically related it makes me uncomfortable :/
@@DarkSunGameplay oh gosh, I'm so sorry ahh. I thought you saw the movie and said the "I love you" was romantic even though you knew they were related. I didn't know you never saw it, I'm so so so sorry for the spoilers !!!! I won't reveal how they're related though, and there is another twist and it's an amazing movie and I really recommend you see it still !!! But I'm assuming the people who are gay and homophobic are in denial about the fact they're gay or it's probably internalized homophobia from past experiences that made them hate themselves like that. If anyone just assumes I'm homophobic without letting me explain themselves, then I won't feel bad at all. That's their own fault for not giving me the time of day to be honest, and again it doesn't bother me because I'm not trying to prove to the world how accepting of the lgbt community I am, being lgbt myself haha. So again if people think that, it genuinely doesn't bother me because I know that I'm not and I'll be happy to explain to people why. When I meet gay people filled with internalized homophobia, I don't feel hateful towards them like I would a straight homophobe. I feel sorry for them because there was probably so many defining factors in their lives that made them end up hating themselves that much.

You have a good point though I love you does not always mean romance and that’s the point you were trying to make. I love my mother. I tell her that. The words used in the term that I love you means romance was implying in your perspective that all I love you means romance. It does not make you homophobic.
@@smileyturtle9924 thank you !!
Why does an English animation win the best animated movie all the time when movie like this are there . So beautiful

i feel yah, i feel yah.
Me: When Marnie was There was ull of genuine emotion and heartache, that tackles real life issues.
Acadamy: sounds good, but are kids told us inside out was really good so were gonna let that one win.
Me: But...
Academy: I HAVE SPOKEN!!!
iKRRRR
@@markcasadevall9509 same with wolf walkers. such gem and lost against baymax....
No spoilers but if you want to watch this movie expecting a cute yuri/lesbian romance, don't get your hopes up.
Thank goodness. I hoped deeply it wouldn't be 😂 really why everyone else thinks that? They're friends so far
Lol
unless they're from Alabama
@@anonymous_ea I saw that, finished it two days ago.
Aw, oh well, strong friendships can be awesome too!
only studio ghibli movies can give you a deep sense of love, fear, friendship, loss, sadness, forgivenss and what not ,it touches your heart in so many ways you discover the most beautiful emotions and ofcourse that makes you shed tears only ghibli movies can make me sob and these feelings becomes a part of you. its a forever thing a forever feeling
If you guys found "When Marnie Was There" will make you cry
watch "Grave of the Fireflies", this movie will leave something on you.!
Can you suggests me some movies with imaginary friends,and the truth only unravel at the end...like marnie was there??
Nɪᴋʜɪʟ Bᴀɪᴊᴜ Well there is a movie that doesn’t involve imaginary friends but involves two characters and you don’t know who they truly are inside until the end of the movie. It’s Us by Jordan peele.
@@Mercyoverwatch Thanks bro..will watch it😇😇
Grave of the fireflies is good but these are two different subjects and gof might shock some people too strongly because of the vastly different subject matter
That's Drama Movies!
I'm a grown-ass man and I cried like a baby at the end of this movie. It's seriously beautiful and an absolute must-watch if you are a fan of romance stories or Ghibli. It never got sappy and always remained intriguing to me
if ladies cries, maybe because women are too emotional (i see u twilight),
but if grown ass man cries, you know the story is LEGIT as shit.
this is not romance FFS
It is a beautiful movie.
The story was good, the artwork was gorgeous.. but what made this movie so unique was its atmosphere and how it portrayed the main characters emotions.
This movie had a great impact on me, because I could relate so much to the protagonists feelings. It made me cry but also comforted me.
That is why I recomend all of you to give this movie a try. Even though the greatest directors of the studio weren't involved in its making, this movie is in no way inferior to the other masterpieces of this studio. On the contrary.. for me it gained a special place on the top of my all time favorite list.
This movie will either be an enjoyable movie or a masterpiece.. It depends on you. But either way, you should watch it! :)
It is. It was lovely how that it got nominated for best animated movie in the Academy Awards but lost to Disney/Pixar " Inside Out" .
At the start, the movie MISLEADS audiences that there is going to be some lesbian thingy, but no...
Smart and mysterious movie.
It isss
Nathalie Santillan that’s her grandmother-
ikrrrrrrrr
they did that with ocean waves (and kinda with up on poppy hill) too.... kinda makes me uncomfortable because you're expecting a romantic relationship and they pull the relative card is SUPER gross
@@radishjuice8662 yea thought there was brother sister love on up on poppy hill but nah
This movie was so beautiful.
ジブリで三番目に好きな作品。
作中に多用されてる比喩が美しくて、見とれてしまう。自分は、物語の本筋を理解するのに少し時間がかかってしまったけど理解できれば、この作品がいかに綺麗で、愛が溢れてる作品か分かると思う。
個人的にアンナを演じきった有村架純を褒めたい。素晴らしい！
アンナを演じたのは高月彩良さんですよ。マーニーを演じたのが有村架純さんです
i cry everytime i watch this movie. even the trailer brings tears to my eyes. I see myself in Anna´s story. this has left a mark on me forever.
I'm still crying with this ending ! T.T
i did!! when I was finishing the movie and started to hear the ending , it is em some tears fell , I knew that would happen , lol
Me to 😢😢😢
I always get this feeling after watching a studio ghibli film. While watching it i enjoy the aesthetic and story but I always leave with something weighing on my heart and it makes me think of the film for days
Blurryink this! I always get this! It's a bittersweet feeling, because I get invested in the story and characters and when it all ends it feels like that world closes, yet a part of it stays with me.
lol same goes with me
Omg i thought im the only one!!
(Btw just watched the movie and im still sobbing rn)
i used to have a really strong connection with my grandma and grandpa, since i used to stay with them when i was a child. and i will tell you about my grandma here now. she's a loving woman who took care of me with such a passion and affection. until when i was 10 years old, she passed away and then i have to live with my parents. i don't say my parents are not good enough, but there's something about my grandma that made my childhood. and i always want to say sorry, i love you, everything i wish she could hear. ah, and this movie, it's like she look up to me and say "hi, sorry for leaving you. i love you". this is by far my favorite ghibli movie of all time, i don't think another movie could replace it
Saw this on Netflix the other day. Ordered the blu-ray that same day. A masterpiece this film is.
Marnie is that person in real world that is not really a bad person but always misunderstood because even the person herself doesn't understand the things that are happening in her own life. Unfortunately we can never have a Marnie in real world so we can only fend and heal ourselves. Have a blessed and happy life everyone!❤
Why does every Studio Ghibli films touches my soul and it makes me feel like I’m longing to live something out from a movie. It lifts your spirit and makes you say, “I’m home.”
I don’t know, it’s just touching. 😭
i watched this movie a few days ago, it was one of 2 movies that ever made me feel emotionally moved enough to shed a tear, truly beautiful.
So Marnie was even more in pain than Anna, she came back just to listen from her beloved Anna "I forgive You". This 1 min scene has thousands of emotions packed and I believe the entire movie is will be lifeless without this scene
I cried so much. Watching this movie reminds me of my beautiful childhood years.
It goes even harder when you rematch it knowing all the information you know now since you're aware Marnie is the Grandma. It made me cry the entire time since I already knew the 2nd time around, how Marnie talks to Anna makes more sense now.
I just finished watching it, and what a beautiful, loving movie, this dreamy relation ship, escapism of a girl who feels alone and doesn't fit well, with another girl she only meets in special moments in secret. I love everything, and the backstory is so sad...
Movies like this should come under a genre called Perfection.
I just watched this movie today. And the whole store of Marnie really made my over sensitive heart so sad. I was crying. My sister had to ask me if I was gonna be okay. It’s been a while since the last time I cried in a movie. But it’s a beautiful movie. Would watch it again despite that it made me cry.
The fact that little anna looks like my 1,5 year old daughter... And i am watching this movie again, while my little rana is sleeping... now with other feelings than before... Now as a mom... it hurts more 😢
Praying that every little child out there is loved and cared by somebody
I finished watching this movie like a month ago, and it feels so nostalgic. This movie has given me a feeling I wont forget, and that is Love & Friendship.
This is one of the warmest and moving film I've ever seen!!! It filled my heart with joy and hope!!!
Ahhh it's been five years. After watching this, it became my most favorite ANIME movie, because it's simply tells a story about the conflicts and cruelty of the world and it's reality, and how relatable Anna and Marnie is. It's actually underrated tbh.
I just finished watching and I'm gonna remember this masterpiece for the rest of my life. It freaking made me cry from the beginning.
Ví esta película tiempo despues de salir de rehabilitación luego de un brote psicótico y me hizo llorar como la primera vez que la ví. Ojala mas gente se de la oportunidad de ver esta linda obra.
Don't get me wrong, I love all of the Studies Ghibli movies, but this is by far my favorite. If I'm being honest I'd even say it's my favorite movie of all. It's truly wonderful....
Hi. I think that these girls are in love. But they kept it a secret
This movie was so moving! So touching and deep.When Marnie asked to be forgiven and Anna forgave I teared up a little. The story of Anna's healing conveyed in a really beautiful way
The best film I ever watched! And I really love the song! This film made me cry so much and I won't ever forget this.
マーニーは最初見た時、話がよくわからんかったけど今は理解できる👍👍
同じですっ
レタス Me too!
This movie touched me in such a way I can’t explain. When you find out who Marnie is I cried buckets.
Is this movie available in TH-cam..
@@akashworld5948 no idea but I’m sure your local library have it
I swear to god this movie touched me on a whole different level.. i watched it on a perfect spring day as i was nursing a broken wrist.. and the music throughout out the movie was so serene.. and the craziest thing i was laying down on the sofa right at the spot my grandma who passed away used to sit. It was just too emotional when the movie climaxed.. some stories are for the soul
This movie is literally one of those extremely emotional touching ghibli movies and it’s so underrated ITS A MASTERPIECE :((
I CRIED LIKE 4 TIMES WATCHING THE MOVIE I LOVE IT SO MUCH ZBNFJDJDJDBD WATCH IT IT'S AMAZING
I dont know how many tears i shed while watching this film and this song is very related to my life. I hope i can find my marnie
The more you rewatch this movie, the more it becomes more touching
Hey.. where I can watch this movie?
@@aarthi6773 we have this on netflix in our country
This movie is one of the most underrated Studio Ghibli movies ever
10/10 recommend 🥺🤩
Why is everyone losing their shit over Disney movies when Studio Ghibli makes masterpieces like this??
100%
Just when hisako told them the story about marnie gave you goosebumps then came her foster mom with the photograph oh my what a shock! Made me tear 😭
I saw that marnie doll anna was holding.
Haha.. I thought marnie was anna's abandoned toy.
@@sheltonblake276 same
Whenever I see this scenery 0:28 tears start coming from my eyes.
This movie should come with a box of tissues. It made me cry so hard for like an hour!!
SPOILER ALERT
During the movie from the moment I saw Marnies eyes I knew something was up and my guess was that Marnie was her mother so the final reveal was truly a surprise.
I always wondered what if Marnie was alive, they would have had the most beautiful grandma-grandchild relationship ever? Not that Anna's aunt or Yuriko not love her but that relationship would have been so fulfilling for both Marnie and Anna, specialy for Marnie since the one thing she ever wanted was to have a loving relationship with her child.
Marnie loved her granddaughter so much but got to spend so little time with her. When Anna was seeing 12 year old Marnie it wasn't just in her dreams, it was actually her grandma or more like Anna's granmas love for her and a part of her spirit that was left behind when she passed just manifesting into a physical form that Anna could see, hear and feel, I like to think of in this way because that means Marnie actually got to spend a little time with her grandaughter and her soul can rest In piece now knowing that her love for Emily and Anna were finally recognized atleast by one of them (Anna).
Marnie only had a few people that recognized her value, Hisako, Kazuhiko and now Anna.
What a beautiful story, this movie will forever be close to my heart, also the scenery of the marsh, the moon at night, the mansion just.... Wow... this is not art this is idk what to call these Ghibli animations, just... Wow same with every ghibli movie, hits different fr!
These movies show the imperfectly perfect beauty of humanity, love, nature and life. Thank you Mr.Miyazaki and everyone at Ghibli 🙏🏽
I lost all of my tears because of this great movie.
before watching the movie: oh I can't wait to watch this nice lesbians tween movie
After watching the movie : welp shit why did I ship them in the first place....
story of my life..
I watched this movie with my nanny and we both loved it very much 🥰👍
The plot twist was huge,but the movie is painfully beautiful♡ The most beautiful movie I have ever seen
I think the another masterpiece here is it's not important to analyze if marnie was a real ghost or just an imagination of anna... but it is depends on us how we describe marnie's existence on the movie the most important is she accompany anna once again as a real FRIEND (not a relative) and helped bloom her emotions..
How touching story. Marnie is really so adorable. Love this so much
Spoiler alert:
Turns out at the end of the scene Marnie was actually the girl's grandmother. The reason marnie chose to be her youngerself as a ghost to interacr with her grandaughter was to spend time with her for the second time since death parted them for so long, thats why she mentioned that she has known her for long. She chose her youngerself so that she can tell her story through the girl's head and vision as she interacts. From the part where she dances with the girl she sang her song to see of the girl gets familiarized but nothing budged but nonetheless she kept telling her story through actions in her grand daughter's head. Meanwhile the girl would either be lost or found because while marnie was doing this, in reality the girl was doing the same except Marnie was not there. I was shocked with the plot twist and softened my heart, when Marnie's long lst friend told her story, that is when she had enough telling her grand daughter everything, she would leave it up to her old friend and as the girl's adopted mother mentions gave her the photo, it was revealed at the back of it that Marnie was her grandmother who died long ago. At the very end we see Marnie at the window waving goodbye at her grand daughter.
To my hypothisis the sequel will be the girl growing up and as she grows, everytime its her vacaction she would always visit her grandmother by spending time with the people she knew there...and she could never forget the time she spend with her grandmother once more.
yeah definitely but one question why did Anna keep falling asleep and laying in the street is that the only time she could of dreamed/thought of marnie orrrrr...
@@cantthinkofaname9934 thats the side effect of what marnie was doing to her grand daughter, in the real world she would wonder around aimlessly when she encounters her
Stop saying Marnie's a ghost/spirit. She's NOT. Marnie as a child was created in Anna's mind unconsciously, as an "imaginary friend." Her image and actions were based on the stories that Marnie (as a grandmother) told her granddaughter when she was very little, before passing away. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_friend
@@namidakun_synr it’s purposely ambiguous
U think there will be a sequel?
I can relate to the comment here where it says that this movie was like a wine where it leaves an "aftertaste". I didn't cry throughout the movie but I felt the sadness. However, after listening the the song once again on yt, that was when the feels hit me. After watching the movie and listening to the song, that was when my tears fell down my cheek. I cried and cried. I felt the "aftertaste" and it was beautiful. 😭❤️ Love the movie
I honestly love the concept of this film. I would say it's my comfort film but I can't watch it in comfort because I CRY EVERY TIME
No one’s talking about how great this movie and how insane it is. Youre not gonna expect everything.
I remember watching this at a friend's house when I was 10 and seeing the trailer brings so much nostalgia.
I really love movies who talk about short relationships , it shows love doesn't always last but always should make you feel happy
I knew I was going to cry with this movie. So beautifully done!!!
Just bought the Blu-ray version & seen it for the 1st time, and I got to say that it's my favourite traditionally hand-drawn, feature-length, animated film at the moment.
I just watched this movie and it was amazing.It got me sobbing at the end because of the plot twist.I oficially lost it when Marnie waved to Anna at the end
"The girl trapped behind the blue window."
Why is people always after love stories!!! Friendship excuse you know
Exists
+sussi boo bear Yeah both is beautiful and friendship is better then love ^^
Friendship is a special kind of love, so, in a way, this is a love story, but not the romantic kind everyone is after.
Takumi Did Nothing Wrong lol that is so true, but yeah I meant in a romantic way :)
When I first watched it, I was like "Why wouldn't anyone ship them?! Come on people? What is so terrible that you can't shi-.....Oh, oh *finds out backstory* Oh OH OH OH! *SOBBING*
that song makes me sad and happy at the sime time...
I watched this after I watched many other movies ghibli made, and I didn’t expect it to make me cry. It’s so sad and beautiful
I just finished it watching now.
Man, the feels though.
Like, it was warming to know how marnie helped her from past until the present. Gosh. Pure love ❤
I've been depressed for a long time, I seem useless and bad. This music has helped me relieve fatigue and stress. Thanks for sharing it. The person who is reading this comment , i wish you great success , health, love and happiness!
